Looks like a good movie, but does the dog die?

Most moviegoers today can handle a disturbing amount of on-screen carnage. Mass planetary extinction? Two tickets, please. A film about a zombie outbreak that leaves billions dead? Sounds fun!

But there's one thing many do not, under any circumstances, handle well: A flick where the dog (or cat, or horse, or hamster, etc.) dies. That's crossing the line.

Fortunately, there's a website that can help remove the anxiety surrounding a pooch's potential fate. Aptly titled Does the Dog Die, the simple site for pet-loving movie buffs lists hundreds of films featuring furry companions (but mostly dogs). The site then lets users know if the dog dies, suffers an injury, or wags its tail all the way to a happy ending.

Of course, all of the films you'd expect are included. Classics such as "Old Yeller" and "The Wizard of Oz" are both spoiled. But the site doesn't stop with the obvious entrants.

Been jonesing to watch "C.H.U.D. II — Bud the Chud" but worried that it might feature the untimely demise of a pooch? This is the site for you (and, by the way, those fears are well-founded). Thinking about treating your special lady to an evening showing of "Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch" but aren't sure if Air Bud will live to retrieve another day? Click and you'll know the score.
